Used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in the modification of polyolefins and elastomers. It enhances thermal stability and mechanical strength by promoting intermolecular bonding. Also applied in the synthesis of specialty coatings and adhesives where improved resistance to heat and solvents is required. Its bromopropyl group allows for further functionalization through nucleophilic substitution, making it useful in the development of reactive intermediates for advanced materials.
